Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The present work investigates mixing metrics used to quantify multi-scalar mixing in turbulent flows. Whereas existing mixing metrics, such as the correlation coefficient or the segregation parameter, are capable of quantifying mixing between two scalars of interest, they fail to capture the interactions between these scalars and the surroundings in which they mix. To overcome such limitations, new multi-scalar mixing metrics derived from the invariants of a three-scalar unmixedness tensor are proposed and then evaluated in coaxial jets transporting multiple scalars. Application of these metrics in coaxial jets with varying momentum flux ratios provides clearer insights into the influence of initial flow conditions on scalar mixing, resolving contradictions observed using other metrics. In particular, these metrics can be used to concisely quantify the mixing of one scalar with another, as well as the mixing of the individual scalars with the surroundings (or, alternately, a third scalar field).

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
